Having already achieved national fame in Germany, a Dirk Nowitzki appearance in the 1998 NBA Draft began his rise to international stardom. In the ’98 draft, he was selected ninth overall by the Milwaukee Bucks, but was traded to the Mavericks, where he has played since. A Dirk Nowitzki appearance usually features him at power forward, although he is also capable of playing center or small forward.

In 2007, Nowitzki was named MVP, becoming the first European-born player in NBA history to receive the award. He is also the first Maverick ever to be included in an All-NBA team. Nowitzki is also a seven-time All-Star and the 2006 All-Star Three-Point Shootout Champion.
